Mailto Links
Since it is likely that you will often have important advice to
send to the President, why don't you put a mailto link to the President
(and the Vice-President while we're at it) in your homepage? That
is very easy to do.
Adding Mailto: Links to your Homepage
Open your homepage file with an editor and insert (exactly as written)
the following HTML code:
<h3> Some Mail Links: </h3>
<a href="mailto:president@whitehouse.gov">
Prez</a>
<p>
<a href="mailto:vice-president@whitehouse.gov">
V-P</a>
|
You can do this by copying the text directly off the browser screen
with the mouse and pasting it into your homepage file, or you can
(carefully) type the lines into the file. The lines may be placed
anywhere in the file after the <body> command and
before the </body> command.
Now save the file and use your second browser window to open your
homepage. (You may have to do a "Reload" to get the browser to see
the modified file.) If things have been done properly, you should
get something like the following as part of your homepage display:
and if you click on these links they should allow us to send email
to the corresponding addresses.
Now Customize Your Homepage With Mail Links
That's pretty easy, huh? Now use these two mailto links as templates
to customize your homepage by adding some links for other people
that you may want to email frequently. You can either change these
two examples to other addresses, or you can just add more mailto
links to these.
In this HTML code the <h3> Some Mail Links: </h3> command
just defines a heading of a particular size ("level 3"; there are
6 levels of headings with level 1 having the largest font and level
6 the smallest) and <p> is just a command to insert a paragraph
(i.e., to skip a line). The rest corresponds to mailto links, which
you now know all about!
